Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Miro helps us with our planning and alignment across an agile team, consisting of 30+ members and 4 squads. It visualizes our plans and helps us identify dependencies and discussion points. Miro has been enabled for the entire organization this year, with an SSO option. It is widely being used for planning, dependency tracking, workshops, and brainstorming.

Return on Investment

Improved alignment within the team.
Identification of dependencies between pieces of work.
Tracking of the evolvement of delivery.

Implementation Rating

Allocate enough time to train your team in understanding what features are available. As soon as the value of using Miro in a fully online community (due to COVID), the tool has been picked up by many (although not all) teams.

Ease of Integration

If integration in the team goes well, for companies it can be a challenge to integrate with existing tools such as Jira. This depends on the company policies, Miro, however, has been particularly difficult due to its setup for our company.
